  • Look for the symbol: Many menus make it so easy!
  • Plan ahead: Check menus before game day when possible.
  • Know your options: Bookmark our guide on how to eat vegan at chain restaurants so you never go hangry.
  • Stay hydrated: Crack open a cold one with our guide to vegan beer.

Be a Defender for Animals Wherever You Go

While you’re cheering for your team, remember: cows, pigs, and chickens love to play, too. Every animal is an individual who feels and values their life as much as you do.
